Amazon.co.uk Review
There isn't a lack of first-person shoot 'em-ups for the PC, but Far Cry looks like it could well be up there with the best of them. It's got a lot of competition of course, from the likes of Doom III and Half-Life 2, but Far Cry has got something they haven't: brains. Although the graphics in Far Cry are some of the best ever seen, with amazing island vistas that look straight out of Pirates of the Caribbean, the most impressive technical achievement is the artificial intelligence of its bad guys. Enemies in most games seem to have the attention span of a goldfish and rarely seem to be able to see or hear more than a foot in front of their faces. This is not the case in Far Cry, although when you've been chased by a gang of professional bounty hunters through a rusty World War II aircraft carrier and back again, you might begin to wish they were still deaf and dumb. For pretty much the first time Far Cry makes you feel as if you are fighting against a real foe, with real intelligence. And if that's not enough to impress there's the aforementioned amazing graphics, seven different vehicles to pilot (including a hand glider), tons of different weapons and really realistic looking bushes. That last may not sound that impressive, but the game's recreation of a real jungle environment is quite outstanding and the real icing on the cake of this top-notch shooter. --David Jenkins

 Awesome title July 2, 2008

What can i say
groundbreaking, fantastic graphics, AI that stops 60% of enemy stupididity, levels that can be approached in different ways, non stop action. Should run great on any modern machine. If you aint played it do so now - that's an order!
wicked game May 12, 2008

This game is amazing! Just finished it for the first time, even though its 4 years old......I thought I would go and play it after finishing Crysis, which I did enjoy, but everyone said Far Cry was better....and it is! Enough has been said about gameplay, graphics etc, but my main theme is:
i want to go where those lush islands are!!! Those beaches are awesome!!!
Are you nuts!! April 10, 2008

Anyone giving this game less than 5 stars has a screw loose. This along with Half Life 2 blew the competion away in 2004 and yes it required quite a powerful graphics card to run it... THEN,now you can run it with a graphics card that you paid peanuts for. Lush environments and great enemy AI made this game amazing,but don't forget, this game is 4 years old and it's fantastic for a 4 year old game.
The very best game and not yet beaten! April 3, 2008

I've done all the MOH's and COD's and have to say that the game I always go back to and never get bored with is this one.
I have nothing bad to say at all (makes a change!).
The graphics are very gd considering it's not a new game. It has a very 'real' feel to it. Shooting is accurate and real, story is very good. It runs for a very decent length of time unlike MOH Airbourne and COD 4! It's challenging but not too hard. Plenty of humans and not too many monsters!
An absolute must!
Quite simply the best game I've ever played December 31, 2007

To say this game is great is an understatement, it is truly fantastic.
I'll start with the graphics, The graphics are like a wet dream for Computer nerds like my-self, The enviroments are quite simply stunning, you feel like your there, you get the urge to do your-self a Gin and Tonic and relax a bit.
Until the mercs start to Tear you in two, the A.I is just the best, they are tactical in their approach, not just "Go in Gung-ho" they hide behind barrels and trees and they snipe at you. much better than any game I've ever played.
The only thing that ruined it for me was the use of mutants, the game was perfect until they introduced the trigens and what-not, it just isn't nesicary (Sorry for the spelling, I can't think how to spell it) it kind of ruinied it for me to begin with, but they actually get quite fun and rather scary at times.
The game runs well at 1280*768 with all on very high and no AF or AA on my laptop (Intel core 2 duo 1.86 GHZ, 4GB RAM, Nvidia Geforce 8400m G 128 MB and windows Xp pro) I get around 20-35 outside and 40 +/- inside.
Annyway, I would recommend this game completely, some of the best gaming I've played for a long time.
